A scary situation occurred at Fenway Park in Boston as the Red Sox were hosting the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. A fan was struck by a broken bat in the top of the second inning and was forced from the stands in a stretcher.

The woman was sitting behind home plate to the third-base side when part of Brett Lawrie’s bat struck her in the head. There are no updates regarding her condition, but reports from the scene are not encouraging. Brian MacPherson, a beat writer for the Providence Journal, reported on Twitter: 

A video by Deadspin, which we will not embed here due to its graphic nature, shows the bloodied woman screeching in pain as she is being wheeled off in the stretcher.
